DITCHED Releases in Two Weeks!

December 28, 2011

MY BIG FAT GRATEFUL GIVEAWAY!

DITCHED will be in stores in 14 days, and I’m doing one final giveaway to thank you all for your support of this book. It’s my little contemporary that could! *Woo-woo!

You’ll get a HARDCOVER copy of DITCHED, a daisy ring (which plays a big part in the book) and was made by some very sweet little girls in my uncle’s neighborhood in LA (love them!), along with bookmarks, punk fairy rub-on tattoos (there’s an important tattoo scene in the book) AND you’ll get a $10 gift certificate to 7-Eleven. That’s a lot of Slurpees!!! (I’m not responsible for your brain freeze. Sip…slowly.)

And here’s a sneak peek inside the final book. The inside pages are red so the whole color scheme came out totally primary, which I ADORE!

And every other chapter, there’s a full page photo of Justina in her dress with an arrow pointing to the next stain of the night. As the night goes on, the stains get…weirder.

To enter, just leave me a comment. Easy! But if you mention the contest elsewhere (twitter, Facebook) you’ll get two entries. Contest ends Wednesday January 4th at midnight. Good luck and thanks everyone!

I can’t wait to read this one. DITCHED sounds like a fun read and I’ve only read good things about it from some of my favorite agents and authors. So yay! I’m so happy that you’re doing a giveaway. Thanks for this opportunity! Two weeks isn’t that far away!

Wishing you well and thanks a million,
Deserae

I will buy your book, because I am so excited and proud of you! However, if I win a book and all it’s blingidy bling bling, I will be able to share it with my teacher friends even faster ( because i am a slow reader) You rock! And to think I knew you when…

Ahh, thanks a ton for the giveaway! I actually only found out about your novel a week ago. I’m a Junior this year too, so I’m excited for Prom! But the summary of your novel is making me nervous… xD I can’t wait for your book!

I was lucky enough to read an ARC from netgalley of your book and can I just say that I totally LOVED it!?! Here’s a link to my review: http://www.mysticbooklover.blogspot.com/2011/12/ditched-love-story-by-robin-mellom.html

Of course, I wouldn’t mind having a real copy and some swag as well. : )

Didn’t know there was a give away, I arrived here perchance, but heh, I’m always up to read some good YA

Hi Robin,

I must confess, I hadn’t heard about this book before but after seeing it on Goodreads and then frantically searching your website for an excerpt (thanks btw) I have to say, I am very, very, very excited!!!! These are the positives that I could gain from the book: prom, hot guy, teen-drama… EVERYTHING!!!!!!! So, in all due honesty, I would be so, so, so happy (over the moon, really) to win this great book (not to mention the extra freebies as well). Oh Robin, Great Authoress, please, please, please choose me (*eyes slowly draw up to the cutest puppy dog eyes you have ever seen*)

Best of luck with your new release and thanks for taking the time to read this (I hope I didn’t scare you with anything from the above )
